spixy··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
Are you saying that p2p was fine in 2000s, but in 2020s with 10 times faster upload, it is suddenly not fine?

spixy··on Volkswagen started blocking GrapheneOS users
So is this problem of german (or EU) laws?
spixy··on Can we have the day off?

spixy··on Deno 2.8
Because I don't care about that permission system. Server will run in some container or k8s anyway.

And node / bun development is much easier because of many many npm packages.

spixy··on If America's so rich, how'd it get so sad?
Necessary stuff (houses, healthcare, education) have outpaced CPI, and generally it is becoming more expensive.

Unnecessary stuff (electronics, appliances, other tech) did not, and generally it is becoming cheaper (Planned obsolescence is another topic though...)

But there is no fixed input-to-output mapping in current popuular LLMs.
spixy··on I won't download your app. The web version is a-ok
Why do I prefer app:

- just click on the icon, no need to type to address bar or search in bookmarks list

- faster to load - no need to download JS/CSS, also my credentials are remembered so no need to login

- biometric login, no 2FA (finance apps, etc.)

- notifications and their customization (browsers only have on/off)

Why do I prefer mobile web:

- I need multiple instances (tabs) of the website

- I need to know URL of the specific page

spixy··on How to talk to anyone and why you should
"You don't know what to say. That's fine."

Well if I don't know what to say, I either don't start a conversation or I can use some opener like "How are you?" and then end the conversation (because I don't know what to say). But then what is the point?

I hope Iran government will finally fall, and those 30,000 dead Iranians will get at least proper burials. And that war won't spread into other countries like yours.

How did you solve problem, when your emails are put into spam folder in gmail?
spixy··on Banned C++ features in Chromium
Unless you develop games in Unity, and have banned C# features like classes or LINQ (because they allocate on heap and Unity garbage collector is bad and make your game to micro freeze / stutter). Sure there are cases where classes are fine (singletons, pooling), but still...
